you’re creating a function and just initializing a local scope variable that you overwrite it.
here is a different approach:
global $wp_roles; // global class wp-includes/capabilities.php
$wp_roles->remove_cap( 'administrator', 'manage_options' );
_based on codex:remove_cap_
Edit:
/**
* Remove capability from admins.
*/
function wpcodex_set_capabilities() {
// Get the role object.
$admin = get_role( 'administrator' );
$admin->remove_cap( 'manage_options' );
}
add_action( 'init', 'wpcodex_set_capabilities' );
